I like it and rhymes with my surname.

Your thoughts?

Sorry, call me a snob, but Teagan is such a chavvy name. To me it conjures up parents called Tracey and Wayne and she lives on a council estate.

This. And I'll own the snobbishness.

I remember really liking the name when there was character called Tegan on Home and Away in the 90s. I haven't really heard it since.

I've never heard it. Not sure why people are so adamant its "chavvy".

I hate it when people describe names as chavvy, but where I live it would be described as such, sorry.

This. It’s awful.

What's wrong with living on a council estate?

@Paperlate so many MN on this thread seem to have an issue with mixing with "Chavvy".

I don't live on a "council estate" but neither do I mix with "chavs".... yet so many seem to be displaced by "chavs".

This is a very funny thread. Not the name bit but the counting logic.

I like the name though.

What do you mean by counting logic?

How you're counting decades

It's how they are counted though. Not counting years.

So I think my granddad once said that he choose his children's names based on what sounded nice when put together.

I've got an unusual last name and would often be nicknamed that.

Unfortunately i can't write it online.

I like the name Tegan that I don't think anyones opinion will change my mind lol. But I'm surprised such a negative opinion - I've only heard it once in this country.

If you've only heard it once, does it not suggest nobody liked it enough to use?

Freshlycutgrasss · 18/05/2023 14:50

Really like it but use the Tegan spelling.

@ThickSkinnedSoWhat yet so many women on this thread saying it's so chavvy/so popular for chavs, likening it to Sharon/Darren..... yet I've only heard it once.

I did a Facebook check and so many woman called it :)
